Pulse is the analytics area of Flowboard. It helps you understand how your onboarding is performing after it goes live.

​
What Pulse is made for

Use Pulse when you want to:
  • See how many users launch a flow
  • Measure completion and drop-off
  • Compare performance across flows
  • Review trends by date range or platform

​
How Pulse works

Pulse aggregates flow activity for your app and presents it in a format that is easy to monitor. Instead of inspecting each flow manually, you can see the overall picture and then drill into the flows that need attention.

​
What you can review in Pulse

Review launch rate, completion rate, drop rate, and average completion time across your app.
Narrow the data to the period you want to analyze, such as the last 7, 30, or custom date range.
Compare performance on iOS and Android when behavior differs by platform.
See which flows are being detected and how each one performs during the selected period.

​
How to use Pulse well

1

Start broad

Check the app-level metrics first to see whether onboarding health is improving or declining.
2

Spot the outliers

Identify flows with unusually low completion or high drop-off.
3

Connect insight to action

Use what you find to update the flow, adjust the audience, or launch an experiment in Labs.
4

Measure again after changes

Compare the next period against the previous one so you know whether the update helped.

​
Best practices

  • Review Pulse on a regular schedule, not only after a problem appears.
  • Compare similar periods when judging performance.
  • Watch both completion rate and time to completion, not just one metric.
  • Investigate a sudden drop before making major design changes.
  • Use Pulse together with Labs to validate whether an experiment actually improved outcomes.
